“2001 Gmc envoy - gas tank neck leaking at grommet. Gm does not offer a fix. The cost of replacing tank with labor is an absurd $600-$800 dollars. This should be cause for recall of all similar models.”
NHTSA complaint #10327965, filed 2010-04, 90,000 miles“Made trip to work from atlanta metro north I-285 south below airport (37 miles). Some road debris must have punctured a hole in thermoplastic fuel tank leading edge. Smelled fuel at work and tightened cap. Parked on hill at work with less than 1/2 tank. After lunch with a co-worker discovered fuel leaking. Vehicle towed home. No luck with GM customer service. Removed tank that week-end. After discussions with composite m&p engineer and distributor began tests on several repairs using a smaller plastic tank. …”
NHTSA complaint #10159095, filed 2006-06, 149,000 miles“Fuel gauge functions erratically. Marks full tank of gas and somewhere in the mid-full point the gauge will read what ever it wants (empty, 1/4, full...etc.).”
NHTSA complaint #10192180, filed 2007-05, 90,000 miles“The contact owns a 2001 Gmc Jimmy. The contact noticed that the on-board diagnostic system warning indicator would consistently illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle frequently misfired, which caused it to be inoperable. The dealer stated that he needed to replace the scpi fuel injector and the mass air flow sensors at the cost of $1,150. He is in the process of having the vehicle repaired. …”
NHTSA complaint #10259421, filed 2009-02, 72,000 miles“Regardless of how much fuel (I.e. Full) the gas gauge will frequently jump down to empty and low fuel light come on. This happens in drive and neutral on a daily basis. Constantly jumping back and forth. Sometimes will stay on empty when full”
